This is remarkable and sad at the same time.Body of WWII airman found dangling from a tree
The suspected remains of a Second World War airman have been found dangling from a tree in the dense jungles of Papua New Guinea.
I think that MIAs are difficult on families, but I imagine that after all these years it may still be a relief for a family to find this news – if they can find the family that the person belongs to.
Wow… hard to imagine that the harness material hasn't rotted over the years. I guess it's as much the vines and creepers holding everything together.Regardless of circumstances, I'm glad this warrior will finally be put to rest.
If confirmed, this is a remarkable find. I know that if my relative were missing from WWII, I would want the closure when the body was found. Every warrior deserves a decent burial regardless of which side he fought for.
